 Background: Learning disability is a neurological disorder that affects the brain’s ability to
receive process, store and respond to information. Aim: The aim of the present study was to
evaluate the effect of psycho- social program on caregiver's emotional distress and perceived social
skills having children suffering from learning disabilities. Design: A quasi experimental design (pre

Pediatric outpatient clinic of Psychiatric Mental Health Hospital in Benha City, Qalubia
Governorate. Subject: A convenience sample of 50 care givers having a child diagnosed with
learning disability according to (DSM-5) was included from the above setting for conduction of this
study. Tools: Four tools were used to collect data. I. Structured interview questionnaire used to
collect data about socio demographic and clinical characteristics of the studied sample. II.
Structured interview questionnaire used to assess data concerning caregiver's knowledge & practice
regarding learning disabilities. III. Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS) to measures the
caregivers emotional distress. IV. Social Skills Rating System (SSRS) used to assessment of social
skills, behavioral problems of children as perceived by their caregivers. Results: There was a highly
statistically significant improvement in total score of total knowledge and practice, total emotional
state and total social skills as preserved by caregivers post implementation of the program than
preprogram. Conclusion: Psycho-Social program had a positive effect on enhancement of
